continue until the chain is oi the length required. 

Slip Stitch (si). Having a st on the hook, put 1 k through 

work ; draw thread through work and loop on hook at the 
same time. 

Double (d). Having a loop on the hook, put hook through 
work, draw thread through work (making two loo] 
hook) ; thread over again and through both loops. (This 
stitch has been, especially in wool crochet, called "single 
crochet." But for the sake of standardizing the terms it is 
railed "double," after the custom of workers in Irish crochet, 
eliminating entirely the name "single.")

off by twos. Sometimes "1 t" is used for anything longer 

than d t. and the number of loops is stated. 

A p is formed on a eh by joining the last four 
-i - (or ary given number) in a ring by working a si or 
a d, in the fourth st from hook. In the following directions 
a si is understood unless otherwise designated.

through ch st between two upright sts; and at ending of 
row, draw ,i loop through ch -i between the last two upright 
sts of row. 

Cross stitch designs are applied to afghan stitch in a number 

of articles, with good results, because of the distinct square 
of the afghan stitch. The designs on the different garments 
are worked out according to the diagram of color symbols, 
which is made for each one. A heavy rope silk is used, 
go the crosses stand up well from the wool.

IMPORTANT. -Lady Wool has been selected because of its special softness and adaptability for baby garments. This woo! 
may be found in the various stores under the following names: Lady Alice. Lady Jane. Ladyfair. Lady Grey, and Lady Betty. 

The crochet wool mentioned is the same as the soft fine twofold Saxony, Zephyr Shetland, or Shetland Zephyr and Super- 
fine Crochet, which may be obtained at all stores. 



INTRODUCTION 



IT is with a feeling of well placed confidence that 
the following pages of Babies' Garments are of- 
fered for copying. The garments themselves are in 
every way desirable, well planned, well executed, 
and not intricate beyond the ability of the average 
worker. 

The directions have been very carefully given and 
if carefully followed should insure success. Some- 
times a failure results for lack of a little care in fol- 
lowing directions, sometimes for want of the right 
sized needle, or sometimes because a different mate- 
rial is employed. While it is true in many cases a 
worker may substitute material or use a different 
needle or make changes in the directions and succeed, 
very often it means disaster: and then one inquires 
why the No. 30 thread does not produce the result of 
Xo. 150 in the model. 

Especial attention is called to the articles on pages 
16 and 17. the complete outfit on page 1 i being knitted 
of Saxony Wool, and that of page 17 being crocheted 
of Lady Wool. The knitting is simple ribbing 
throughout the body of all the knitted outfit : and a 
very effective, easily worked crochet-stitch is used 



for the body of the crocheted outfit. 

Other articles throughout the book are noticeable for 
employing stitches that arc new, or novel combina- 
tions of well known stitches, — the fancy stitch of 
Bootees on page g, — the combination forming the stripe 
of the Sweater on page 10, — the bordering of Afghan 
strips on page 27 are examples. The Creeping Rug 
(Frontispiece) is a very interesting piece and will 
prove a great attraction for, and favorite of, the wee 
laddie or lassie fortunate enough to possess one. 

The embroidering of many of the articles is in the 
simplest manner imaginable, either in Cross-stitch, 
for which block patterns are given, or the universally 
admired Rambler Rose with its leaves of lazy-daisy 
stitch. Either one adds much to the beauty of the 
pieces, while dainty edges of silk crocheting finish the 
w 1 irk handsomely. 

A caution to the one who crochets much in cotton 
might be added. — when wool is used the crocheting 
should not be too tight, not loose enough to be 
"sloppy," vet loose enough to show the beautv of the 

Wool. " 

These garments are all of that tension.

being chosen for the sleeves and body, and a softer 
wool also in white for the yoke. This is over-shot 
with dainty pink or blue rope silk: collar and cults 
are of crochet silk, also in color, and ribbon bows 
and ties give an added touch of daintiness. The silk 
lining not only gives added warmth to the yoke por- 
tion, but helps to keep the little garment in shape.

TO LAUNDER WOOL GARMENTS 



IT is of the utmost importance to know how to 
launder these beautiful wool garments when they 
are soiled, and to this end a few "Nevers," as well 
as complete directions for correctly laundering, are 
here given. 

Never rub soap on the garments. 

Never wash them in hot water. 

Vever wring them by twisting. 

Wever hang them up to dry. 

Acrcc use any but the purest white soap (Ivory is 
always best ). 

Never change the temperature of the water for 
washing or rinsing. 

Never allow the garments to soak in the water. 

A ever rub them on a washboard. 

Directions. — Procure Ivory soap and dissolve 
enough of it in lukewarm water to make a good 
frothy soapsuds. An ordinary wash-bowl or large 
pan of enameled ware would be large enough for 
any of the articles unless it be the Afghans. Carriage 
Robes, or Creeping Rug: for any of these a small 
tub would give better results. The water should 
not lie hot, only lukewarm and kept at that tem- 
perature. Put one article at a time into the water and 
with both hands squeeze the warm suds through it; 



keep on squeezing it until ii seems clear, working as 
rapidly as possible. 

Wring the garment out by squeezing it tightly with 
both hands, this is much better than to use a wringer. 

I hive ready a second water of the same temperature 
with soap dissolved in it, if the piece is more than 
slightly soiled, and repeat the same process rapidly 
Have the water for rinsing the same temperature and 
rinse with the same motions, squeezing always, not 
twisting. Usually one rinsing is sufficient, but if it 
seems to be necessary, rinse twice, each time in luke- 
warm water. 

After the last rinsing and the garment is wrung 
dry as possible, spread it (without stretching") on a 
clean white cloth. As it drains and begins to dry. 
take it up in the hands, tossing it about and fluffing 
up the wool: tin- should I"- done in a warm room 
or in the warm sunlight. 

If there is but one color in the piece, or if it is all 
white, it may be dried in a heap, tossed over now 
and then. 

With any of the pieces having embroidery or finish 
of silk, especial care should be taken to dry the ar- 
ticle as fast as possible, to prevent the color of the 
silk running into the wool. Where white silk is used 
the greatest caution should be exercised, since white 
silk will turn vellow with a verv little heat.

In this carriage robe there is not 
..ills ,i charming combination of color, 
but an effective contrast between 
plain and tufted crochet stitches, the 
plain blocks being in white with a 
colored cross-stitch ornamentation, 
and the tufted or fancy blocks in 
color. The edge is also in color and 
the silk lining should match. 

The colored wool may be pink or 
blue, whichever color is chosen for 
baby's belongings. The cross-stitch 
designs in shades of rose-pink, blue, 
yellow, and green goes with either 
color very nicely. 

The block pattern, Fig. o, shows 
the placement of the different colors, 
each one represented by a different 




symbol, as given on the diagram. 

Each square of afghan stitch 
measures _>N stitches each way, and 
as the cross-stitch pattern is 24 
stitches in height, the work should 
be commenced on the third row of 
the crocheted while square, instead 
of on the fourth, as on the block 
pattern, Fig. 9. In other words, leave 
two rows of crochet at top ami bot- 
tom of cross-stitch design instead 
of three, find exact centre of third 
row of crocheted block, mark centre 
of block pattern, and work . 1 
Stitches in the usual way, taking 
care that the top stitches slant in 
the same direction throughout. 

The carriage strap below is done 
in a harmonizing design, and in the 
same color scheme as the carriage 
robe, ami may be used with it.

Pink wool might be substituted for the blue, the 

cr titch wreath in shades of rose. light blue, and 

green will harmonize with either coloring. On the 
color diagram (Fig. o on page 25), the two shades of 
rose are referred to as light and dark red. Cross- 
stitch embroidery in silk is wonderfully _ effective 
against wool. The carriage strap on page 25 is worked 
in a similar cross-stitch design.

Work rambler roses on pink section, as illustrated. 
Detail showing the making of the lazy-daisy stitch, 
which is used for the leaves, is given on page 21. A 
knot of stitches is built up for the centre of the rose, 
then the stitches are taken around and around, as 
shown in Fig. 12. The centre should be green, and 
the enclosing stitches pink. The lazy-daisy stitch is a 
long loop or buttonhole-stitch held by a short stitch 
in the end of the loop, which is always the tip of 
leaf or petal.

lows : With celluloid crochet-hook and pink wool, ch

ground. Dainty lace edging and ribbons matching 
the colored wool trim the several pieces most 
effecti\ el)
